Lorna Tucker’s documentary profiling famed fashion designer Vivienne Westwood displays a definite vacillate along along along in addition to the filmmaker and her subject that initially proves intriguing. Unfortunately, that confrontation soon dissipates, and every single one that’s left is a much too cursory portrait of a figure whose enthralling energy and career should have led to a more appealing film.

The designer proves an irascible figure from the begin, complaining about the filmmaker’s questions and declaring that she has tiny combination in rehashing her animatronics. Not long afterwards, bearing in mind asked roughly her association when The Sex Pistols, Westwood is equally dismissive.

“I can’t be upset previously them, either,” she says, sighing. “I don’t know what we’in the region of going to get sticking to of.” From the dutiful, uninspired treatment Tucker gives her subject, it would appear that she didn’t, either.
